Performance

Is Meta down, or is it my account?

When performance falls off a cliff overnight, it is often a Meta-wide delivery or reporting outage, not something you did. Confirm it is platform-wide first, then hold: panic-editing during an outage resets learning right when delivery is about to recover.

What this means

When performance falls off a cliff overnight, it is often a Meta-wide delivery or reporting outage, not something you did.

Quick steps
  1. Look for a platform-wide pattern: a sudden drop across every campaign at once, and others reporting the same on status trackers and the ad forums.
  2. Separate a delivery outage from a reporting one: if spend and impressions look normal but conversions or purchase events flatline, it is tracking, not delivery.
  3. Hold, do not react: avoid budget, targeting and creative edits during an outage, because they reset the learning phase and cost you when delivery returns.
